In 2020, the Duke University Archives and Duke University Medical Center Archives requested online submissions from members of the Duke community as part of the "Share Your COVID-19 Story" project. The project was created to document life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Submissions could take the form of a variety of media including text, photographs, and video recordings. The project description reads as follows:
"The global pandemic has disrupted all aspects of our lives, from the ways we socialize to the ways we work to the ways we learn. COVID-19 has impacted many of our families and friends in profound ways.
The Duke University Archives and the Duke University Medical Center Archives have been hard at work to document this unique time in history. We would like to hear from students, staff, faculty, and other people who live, work, or study at Duke. You may tell your story through writing, photographs, film, or other means. We've also created a list of optional prompts, if you're not certain where to begin your story. You can also look at submissions to the project for inspiration. (Durham community members, connect with the Museum of Durham History to share your stories!)"
